Long Beach IMS show

Havok · November 15th, 2011, 08:28 PM

ok guys and gals the IMS is coming to long beach, here is the ticket pricing, if we get a group to buy tickets we can get a discount. I need to know who is interested and how many days they want to go.

Cazper · November 16th, 2011, 07:53 AM

I definetely want to go... I'm not seeing any info though... maybe because I'm viewing from my phone

Nope - as the old saying goes, there's "nothing to see here, move along"

Zombiphone · November 16th, 2011, 09:35 AM

I'm going to be going one day for sure, but I haven't decided which one yet. I'm probably going to only stick around for maybe an hour or so so I can schmooze a bit and grab some track calendars and a ticket pack. Otherwise, I've already done it twice and there's not really much left to see there.

Although I do still kind of want to see if I can test ride a can am spyder

Indy250r · November 16th, 2011, 12:17 PM

If you guys go to the show, make sure you see the presentation by Doug Wothke.

He's a guy from Alabama that has ridden around the world each of the last 4 or 5 years on old Harleys and even an Indian. I find him very entertaining, he doesn't do big-budget, BMW GS tours.

Here's a link to his latest 'round the world trip:http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681994

The rest of them can found on ADVrider as well.

Heed · November 16th, 2011, 12:40 PM

is that basically like the auto show but for motorcycles? in that case, i wanna go.

alex.s · November 16th, 2011, 12:42 PM

Trailerboy531 · November 19th, 2011, 09:44 PM

I agree. Although I've always attended them in the last 7 yrs it is still somewhat boring.

When is this again? Dinner & beer after show? What's the price?

Ninja Chris · November 20th, 2011, 12:02 AM

Picked up my tickets a couple of weeks ago, but if I go next year I'll stop by to see if there's another group buy brewing.

I'm really looking forward to it this year

It'll be my second show and now that I know more about bikes and riding I plan on geekin' out. Bonus: Taking my brother and another friend with me

Cazper · November 25th, 2011, 10:47 AM

The only other thing I have going on is a Christmas party on Sat. night... but technically I could go and leave early that day or I can go for Fri and all day Sun....

what is everyone else doing?

Havok · November 25th, 2011, 07:47 PM

Honestly, i9 was going to set up a group buy for the tickets and try and get us all to ride up together, but i seriously do not have the time to dedicate to it right now, work is crazy i have parties and get togethers planned out for the next few weeks. My free time is very limited, i will be going friday and all day saturday.

Trailerboy531 · November 25th, 2011, 07:54 PM

Im just going to purchase my own pass. Thanks for the heads up though Jeff

We should all work out a group ride to the show if people are down. Interested in a group ride on saturday morning anybody?

Nemesis · November 29th, 2011, 06:49 PM

hah, anyway, trying my best not to be a debbie-downer, but the show does kinda suck, no point going in for all 3 days, even 2 hours is maximum for me and my gearwhoring self (oh, quite a bit of gear are on sale there, but usually odd size and old stuff)

i will probably do Sat.

Cazper · November 29th, 2011, 09:28 PM

I thought more the point was to be able to test ride bikes... that's what I was looking forward too

the demo bikes are first come first serve, you need to get there at like 7am to get your self a spot... 6 hours later.

Nemesis · November 29th, 2011, 09:42 PM

Andy when are you going? Everyone let's go Friday so we can beat the crowd. Sat. & Sun it's gonna be packed!

andylawcc · November 29th, 2011, 09:47 PM

aiya... I have a regular 9-5 man (6:30 actually)... so I can't make it till very late.

In the meantime, my friend did say you can pre-register for the demo rides on Friday, and come back on Sat/Sun for the actual riding.

Nemesis · November 29th, 2011, 10:01 PM

Demo rides are boring. They won't let you go WOT. LOL!

andylawcc · November 29th, 2011, 10:14 PM

and Havok, no need to stress for the group buy thing, there will be discount code posted soon (I got a Progressive $3 off, will post it when i get home)

Trailerboy531 · November 30th, 2011, 12:54 AM

I'm going for the demo-rides but like andy I work friday morning so I can't go until saturday. Guess we better get there early to get registered for some riding!

andylawcc · December 2nd, 2011, 01:57 AM

this is a somewhat thread-jack/derailment, but if you all are also similarly interested in the Chuckwalla trackday in Jan, I highly recommend you guys group together and buy Trackdaz's 4 pack for $400 (that's a saving of $70 per person). The 4 pack is only available at the bike show.

I would love to go in on a 4 pack with them but umm i think ill just get my own and bank 4 track days for next year lol. See you at chucky in jan andy

andylawcc · December 2nd, 2011, 02:40 AM

Jeff: just a personal analysis (may not apply to you and others), but i think the 4 pack is overkill if you can't use it for the Jan 21/22 trackdays. All remaining Trackdaz trackdays are Chuckwalla Fridays (before the CVMA races), and 2 Buttonwillow, one in Aug (HOT), one in Nov during thanksgiving, just like a week ago this year. Nov 2012 is too far out to decide, I myself would use it all up now for the Jan trackday.

Fridays are fine for me, i write my own work sched and can take any days off i want, going on a friday works better for me tbh as i can rest saturday and work sunday (time and a half for me). I also plan on going to the sunday session in jan

Trust me ill use them

Towards the end of next season ill look for cheap days from people who over bought on track packs :P

andylawcc · December 2nd, 2011, 03:02 AM

wtf, so you can write your schedules to work 48 hours on Sat and Sun? PROFIT!!!

Lol no i can only write it for 40 per week and no more then 8 a day, i get over time for anything over 8 hours and anything over 40 per week. when i want extra scratch i just work like 4 hours a week ot.

Nemesis · December 2nd, 2011, 07:44 AM

FYI - if you plan on picking up the Trackdaz 4 pack go directly to the Trackdaz booth when you get in. I've seen these things sell out late Friday if not early Saturday.

I'll be there after work on Friday just to pick this up, and look around for an hour.

BTW, when IS this?!!! LOL!

Trailerboy531 · December 2nd, 2011, 08:31 PM

Damn I was planning on getting a 4-pack to use too but I'll be at work 9-4 that friday. Hopefully they're have some left on Saturday morning...

Anything else we should be on the look out for while we're there?

andylawcc · December 2nd, 2011, 08:33 PM

last season's gear or item that Berts/Motorhelmets.com/Del Amo/ want to get rid off. Some are decent stuff. Most really aren't.
